WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1985, PAGE 13 Whitby named best unit of 1984 by the Central Region Jaycettes By CECE WAGAR Regional and National Conventions are the judges and the Whitby Jaycettes came up win- ners at both. Central Region Jaycees and Jaycettes were hosted to a Calyp- so weekend on the Caribbean Island of Oshawa this past May 10-12. The Oshawa Jaycees and Jaycettes really know how to throw a good time. With up to 10 units per category competing for various awards Whitby won four for four first place awards and one third place award. In the outstanding project competition, their children's program, Polka Dot Door Live, came first followed by a third with their Painted Clown Faces on the town's Jamboree Day. Their unit newsletter, the "Speakeasy" led the way in the unit publications com- petition while their story book display of their calligraphy course awed the judges in the project fair com- petition. The coveted award for the year is, of course, the Outstanding Unit Album and again the Whitby Jaycettes presented the best year of well rounded ac- tivities. The albums were then sent on to National Con- vention in Chatham. This time they earned two first place awards: outstanding project with Polka Dot Door Live (24 submissions) and out- standing unit album (9 entries in their category). This has been one outstanding year for president Sue Anderson. And now, with President Nancy Mc- Dowell to lead the way, plans are complete for the coming year. There are many new ideas for membership drives, courses, Jaycee assistance, and assistance to Christopher Robin Home for Children and Fairview Lodge as well as other groups. In March, the Whitby Jaycettes will be celebrating their tenth anniversary. They are looking forward to a really special celebration for this event. Al in all, the coming year looks just as great and promising as the last. Women 18 to 40 years of age interested in making new friends and gaining self-confidence by becoming involved in community service projects may call president, Nancy Mc- Dowell, 725-3140, for more information. Come to a meeting. Jaycettes may be for you! EDITOR'S NOTE: Cece Wagar is the publicity chairman of the Whitby Jaycettes.
